Xerces' Estoril blue 330i Touring Edition 33

So up until now I've owned two BMWs - '97 323i and '99 523i. This is my first 3 liter BMW as well as first BMW wagon. This is how she looked like when I got her this November:





She's a 330i with a 6 speed manual transmission, M sports package and a lot of other goodies. This car is one of Edition 33 vehicles which BMW released in limited quantity in honor of 33 years of BMW touring cars. From what I know they only came in a few limited colors (Estoril being one of them) and feature colour-matched stitching throughout the interior as well as Edition 33 written on the door sills.

I suppose this is what you would call ZHP in the United States even though as I understand ZHP's rev limiter is set a bit higher than on normal 330i cars.

Not too long after getting her I found a Style 68 wheel set for winter.



And also wanted to do some underbody protection. Removing all the trim pieces revealed that she was in quite a good condition.






And more images of the process:

That's a lovely car, and it has the same front and rear fasciae and wheels as what we in the US got on the ZHP package. And the Estoril is just gorgeous.
That looks just like the interior we got in the States in the ZHP package, although mine didn***8217;t have the contrasting stitching.
